There are methods of getting off of federal supervised release early. Unfortunately, much of the analysis depends on the crime you committed, the length of supervised release and how much more time is remaining and your conduct while on supervised release.

The first place to start is to speak with your case worker. If he or she does not agree you should be released early, it will be virtually impossible.

I wish you the best.
